Were you the kind fellow who released me?
It was me. Just be warned Carrera2 - we can't afford the bandwidth for silly pranks.
What is bandwidth and how does it work,do old threads get binned to make way for new threads?
Curious.
Everytime you post you cause data to be transferred. To transfer data from the webserver to your client it costs money. It not the same as diskspace required to support a database (which is minimal).

No idea - I'm not a mod. I'm just a thinly disguised lying, lazy git.

Ok ,so how does a site make money ,is it mainly through advertising?
Yeah. Most advertising schemes go through a counter so they may get a percentage of the final sale (if one is made) or simply earn money by the number of clients that go through the link. On big sites like PH, some firms may pay a fee to have advertising space
